AllegroX SPACING rule precedence

grax
grax 10 months ago

Hi

the signal SPI_SCLK belongs to TWO Spacing CLASSES: CLS_SP_SPI and CLS_SP_SPI_CLOCK

I then assign TWO different SPACING RULES to each class : CLS_SP_SPI  > 2H and CLS_SP_SPI_CLOCK > 3.5H

Which SPACING RULE will inherit the signal SPI_SCLK ??

Is it possible to manually define the PRIORITY on Design Rules ??

    Generally in the case of conflict, the more conservative value is applied when two objects are constrained at the same hierarchical level. Otherwise it follows the precedence order of the hierarchical constraints.
    Say if you have regions defined in your board file, then Region rules override any other Spacing Constraints.
